Finding the Wild Plum (Prunus americana) for Homemade Jam

The wild plum, Prunus americana, makes superb sweet-tart jam but isn't sold in nurseries. Your best bet: scout country roadsides in April when white blooms appear, then ask landowners for permission to dig a sucker. The Georgia Wildlife Federation's Wingsong native plant sale may also offer them. Wild plums spread by suckers, so one plant becomes a thicket—perfect for a naturalized area.
